      Specialty Camp Counselor Interview

      Feb 3, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Berwyn, PA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Berwyn, PA) in Apr 2013

      Interview

      I had a group interview with other potential camp counselors. The various camp directors asked questions, which were mainly scenario based. The candidates went around in a circle answering the questions. After the interview, I waited a few days before receiving an offer. During the wait, they contacted my references. They are required to hear from three references before moving forward (so make sure your references will respond quickly). After that, I needed a background check, child abuse clearance, and a drug test.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      You have prepared an art project for your campers. 7 of your campers are very excited to do the project but Johnny says he doesn't want to do the project. He throws a fit when you ask him politely to try the project. What would you do?
